Dear Parent/Guardian:
Welcome to your child's senior year. My name is Mrs. A. Henry-Catnott and I will be your child's English Language Arts (ELA) teacher. This is a very important year in your child's education; this year he/she will be applying to the high school of his/her choice. There is a lot of rigorous work to be done, but with all of us working together, I'm sure this year will prove to be a very successful and productive one for your child. You will be required to sign and date all late assignments, if they are to be accepted and credits given. However, there will be a limited time in which to make up these late assignments.
In order to help make this a successful and productive year for your child, I would like to take this opportunity to inform you of certain important information and dates that will prove significant throughout the school year.Feel free to contact me at 718-379-7400, should it become necessary.
Sincerely,
Mrs. A. Henry-Catnott,
ELA Teacher
